A FORMER professional basketball player is bringing his popular Hoop Lab classes back to the Cavanbah Centre at Byron Bay.<\/p>\n

The Gold Coast-based Liam Glazebrook runs a unique program which focuses on the players mindset and helping build young people on and off the court.<\/p>\n

His holiday program takes in about 20 kids for a three-day camp starting Tuesday, April 22.<\/p>\n

“I have kids from the Northern Rivers who come up to the Gold Coast for sessions and they were keen for us to come down there,” Glazebrook said.<\/p>\n

“We’re now running quarterly classes at Byron Bay, and we’ve had a great response so far.<\/p>\n

“I organise it with the (Byron Shire) council because we don’t want to step on anyone’s toes, we’re independent and keep to ourselves.<\/p>\n

“We take on a holistic approach with focus on nutrition, hydration, pregame routine and everything they do off the court at home.”<\/p>\n

Glazebrook said he got involved in coaching when the first of his five children started playing basketball.<\/p>\n

He ramped up his program with private classes during the COVID-19 pandemic, before expanding to the group training sessions he runs now.<\/p>\n

“I really had to get myself out there and build it up when my wife was pregnant with our fifth child,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I’ve always been hyper-focused on sport and I’ve basically dedicated my life to it.<\/p>\n

“Now I’ve coached more than 500 kids and we always seem to fill up whenever we run a camp<\/p>\n

“It’s Individual coaching in a group setting.<\/p>\n

“I get a good look at them early in our icebreaker and plan the training drills around any deficiencies that I see in their game.<\/p>\n

The camp is expected to fill up with limited spots available.<\/p>\n
